Morias Hansborough must have been among the early settlers of Shelby County, Kentucky, who made their home at Squire Boone's Station in April 1781. Located on Clear Creek, where Shelbyville is now, the fort, which was also known as Painted Stone Station, was then somewhat isolated from other settlements. While traveling from Linns Station to Brashears Station, to get a minister to conduct two weddings at Linns, Major Bland Ballard observed signs of a large body of Indians in the area and rode to surrounding settlements, including Boone's Station, where he arrived at night, to warn them. For safety, the inhabitants of Boone's decided to accompany Ballard back to Linns, in the more densely populated area around Louisville. Squire Boone could not get ready in time to go with them and could not prevail upon them to wait another day, so he and a few other families, who could not get their belongings together immediately, remained at Boone's, intending to follow later. Ballard and his party set out the next morning. At Long Run of Floyds Fork in eastern Jefferson County, near the Shelby County line, the group was attacked by the Indians and a great many settlers were killed, including two Misses Hansboros, sisters of Joel Hansboro.

Morias probably emigrated to what is now the State of Kentucky about 1780 or 1781, for in the Council Journal for June 23, 1781, a warrent was issued to "Marcus (Morias) Hanberry (Hansbrough)" for William Shannon of Kentucky for 333£ upon account' in the same Journal, under the same date, "upon recommendation from the Court of Jefferson County . . . . . and Morias Hanbury (Hansbrough) are added to the Commissioners of the Peace and Oyer for the said county," and, in 1783, his name appears on the Register for the General Assembly of Virginia as a member of the House from Jefferson County, now Kentucky.

FIND A GRAVE INFO Born in Stafford County Virginia, about 1719; died in Stafford County in September or October of 1784. On page 201 of the register of St. Paul's Parish, King George County, his marriage is recorded as "James Hansbury and Lettice Sumners married September 19th (1741). She was the daughter of Joseph Sumner, Jr., and his wife Janet Rowley. They had eight children. The first record of him is found in the ledger of Allison, a merchant of Falmouth, when he purchased some cloth. In the ledger, he is referred to as "Father of Peter, Under-sheriff of Stafford." Prior to 1779, he began purchasing land in Culpeper. At that time, he was known as James "Senior. " On August 16, 1779, he and his wife, Lettice, sold some land to Becket Davenport. He also sold land on March 3, 1781, to his son Peter Hansbrough, Jr., of King George County. When James died in 1784, his estate included 17 slaves, 5 horses and 20 cattle. His will makes no mention of his wife, so it is presumed that she died before him.
